Hey guys, hoping no one would be interested in my car therefore me not bothering to sell it.

I've taken a leaf from Troy's book and realised how much $$$ maintaing our pride and joys involve. As most of u know the car hobby sucks u dry - not in a good way either.

Just about to get married, buy a house, support a child etc. I've tried justifying that we could sleep in the stagea... No go.

If it does go, hopefully it's to someone interstate or someone north side.. I couldn't stand to see it driven by someone else. :(

Details:

1999 series 2 Stagea RS4-S (therefore manual)

78,xxx kms

Rego til 04/13

My baaahhhdyy:

Ganador side mirrors

Dolphin eyelids

Dolphin sideskirts

Takero front bar

Not too sure what rear wing is

Original stagea boot may (ooohh ahh)

Parcel cover thingy <-- someone tell me

Under the bonnet:

RB25DET Neo

NGK Iridium sparks

Spitfire Coils

Airynx pod filter

Cooling Pro Stealth (black) FMIC

3" cat back

JJR Dump pipe

Venom 500 series cat

Shoes:

19" Work TE37 (minor grazes)

Achilles rubber <1000kms

BC VR coilovers

Handling (installed <1000km/s):

Whiteline front swaybar links

Whiteline rear heavy duty sway bar (BNR11XXZ)

Whiteline radius bushes

I'm looking to sell for around $16k considering some of the major minor mods are done.

Happy to hear from others if that's realistic.

^^^Good call. :D

Very Phat looking car mate, easily one of the toughest / nicest looking Stags I've seen and it would be a shame if you let it go but meh, priorities blah etc.

Either way, Good luck with it and the other stuff.

Thanks guys.

We couldn't justify having 2 cars and the stagea lucked out as the less viable car to keep.

Really, this will clear the remaining amount of my loan and money towards a deposit on a house.. and I'll tack on lil extra on the mortgage to get a GTR*.

(*Not discussed with missus)

Nah, you can't blame Troy - that Roos definately not going to headbutt any more Skylines Karl.

I think the blame clearly lands at the feet of others and their needs for shelter, food, water and sensible transport. They carry on like that stuff matters - Meh

Don't worry tho - when they all leave you in 18yrs and child support payments are over you can start buyin big boys toys again :)

BTW a brother or sister of that Skippy did hit another car early this morning along the same stretch.

Sad seeing traffic just change lanes and keep going.

    • Sorry no - The sandtrap adventure ended the day, happened at the end of the last session. At that time I wasn't hearing any weird noises nor were the brakes shuddering anymore. It was only when watching the videos that I remembered I had these sounds early on!
    • Did the noise appear after your sand trap adventure? Could be something got dislodged and is playing rub rub. Even a rock wedged somewhere.
    • Is there a shroud around the tailshaft spline into the back of the box? They can rub and make a horrible noise if they are not on straight/damaged. The heat might have caused it to grow too much in one direction and rub.
    • Strangely I noticed it either disappear later in the day, or not be present. I definitely noticed when I was crawling around that open wheel thingy entering the pits (that part was audible in car). Driving home and commuting around town for example, I didn't hear it. It's plausible that it was a brake disc or something still slightly in contact. The brakes absolutely felt BAD for the first couple of sessions, huge amounts of shudder and grinding as they got up to temp - And then I actually just forgot about it as the day went on/didn't notice it. The videos were from the morning when this was more present than the afternoon/drive home when it wasn't. I've asked around and got a variety of responses including handbrake shoe contacting hub, CV joints, CB tailshaft bearing as above, and clutch input bearing. I didn't test if it disappeared when clutch was in. I haven't noticed it in any of the other videos nor did I notice it when driving to that extent. More or less hoping the microphone at the rear license plate giving some kind of clue of 'something' but it looks like "spin stuff and see if you can notice it" is the way forward here. I could be smart and use the gopro mic and re-mount it to that location to see if the sound is still present at low speed actually. Sounds like a decent test whenver I have the CBF'ness to drive the car again. Given it's almost 40C for the day of the track day and the next 3 days after, the CBF is high. All I've done since getting home is unpack the car, remove the remnants of the lip and undertray and left it there. I was surprised how well the PMU Club Racers actually worked. The brake performance on the track was absolutely fantastic, best I've ever personally used, no fade whatsoever and the bitiness was almost too good, I was scrubbing more speed off than I needed to, but I also ended up infield when I started trying to scrape off ... less speed.... so...
    • Not really, no. Anything you would do is easily reversible.
